There's something I love about the path interactions from both Railblazer and Hangtime. They seem like they'll invigorate the park atmosphere more than the others will, though Steel Vengeance looks like it'll be the best ride alone, easily.

Steel Vengeance may very well be one of the best coasters ever once it opens. All going to depend on how it rides, but with the most airtime on any coaster ever, it has a chance.
Also really looking forward to Twisted Timbers. Nice to see RMC doing more "normal" elements. The regular airtime hill on Storm Chaser is amazing, as is the barrel roll drop. Excited to see another coaster with a barrel roll drop, and has a ton of just insane airtime hills.

SV is the far and out leader here. The remaining class looks pretty good, though. Nothing else feels world breaking, but some solid additions. Time Traveler is the 2nd most interesting to me, especially for it's uniqueness.
I don't suspect anything good is going to come from Six Flags this year besides Wonder Women, and Georgia Cyclone getting RMC'ed will probably be good, but they don't seem on track to do much else.

Steel Vengeance is absolutely the most anticipated project for 2018 by far in my opinion. The stats are crazy and it just looks incredible. If it's really gonna have the most airtime on a coaster, CP has another wordclass coaster in their park and they confirm their status as roller coaster capital of the world (yeah I know SFMM has more...).
Twisted Timbers looks great too, seems like an airtime monster as well. I have a thing for Gerstlauer, they may not built silky smooth rides but their lay-outs are almost every time original and very fun to ride. Hangtime seems to be fun and original too.
Steel Vengeance, Twisted Timbers & Time Traveler are on my USA trip next year. Looking forward to ride them.
